Foreword
The Women and Men in Kenya booklet provides facts and figures
on the status of women and men in Kenya.
The booklet represents indicators focusing on the following: popula-

tion, health, education, employment, governance, domestic vio-
lence, decision-making, and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
The information is extracted from various publications produced by

the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, State Department of Basic
Education and National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC).
I hope the facts and figures in this booklet will be useful in strength-
ening the production of gender statistics in Kenya.

Concepts and Definitions
Gender
Gender is a socio-cultural construct of the society that determines
and identifies, roles or functions, entitlements and deprivation of
women and men and girls and boys in the society. Gender classifi-
cation changes with time, space and needs of a society.
Sex
Sex is a biological identification of females and males based on
their physiological characteristics. Sex characteristics are natural;
compared to gender which identifies qualities that are shaped
through the history of social relations and interactions.
Gender Equality
Gender equality refers to equal access to resources and benefits by
women and men. This accelerates the growth of individuals,
development of countries and evolution of societies.
Gender Equity
Gender equity denotes the equivalence in life outcomes for women
and men, recognizing their different needs and interests and
requiring a redistribution of power and resources.
Gender Mainstreaming
This is an organizational strategy to bring a gender perspective to
all aspects of an institution’s policy and activities, through building
gender capacity and accountability.
Gender Discrimination
This is the systematic, unfavorable treatment of individuals on the
basis of their gender which denies them rights, opportunities or
resources.

5
Gender Violence
Any act or threat inflicted to individual of either sex. It may be in the
form of physical, sexual or emotional/psychological act.
Women’s Empowerment
This is a bottom-up process of transforming gender power relations
through individual or groups developing awareness of women’s
subordination and building capacity to change it.
Gender Equality in Kenya

Kenya’s economy is growing. Poverty is declining and devolution is
bringing government closer to Kenyan citizens. The benefits of
growth are not always equally shared, however, and Kenyan wom-
en still remain disadvantaged economically, socially and politically.
Promoting gender equality involves working with women and men,
girls and boys to bring about changes at home, in the workplace
and in the community.
Traditional ideas and roles assigned to girls and women restrict

them from taking part in areas that are key in both economic and
social development. These ideas hold women back from contrib-
uting to important development goals; especially in the areas of
economic growth, nutrition and food security.
Women in Kenya are underrepresented in decision-making posi-

tions. They also have less access to education at higher level,
land, and employment. Those living in rural areas spend long
hours collecting water and firewood; interfering with school attend-
ance and leaving them with little time to earn money or engage in
other productive activities.
The untapped potential of women and girls is gaining greater atten-

tion in Kenya. The country’s new Constitution, promulgated in 2010,
provides a powerful framework for addressing gender equality. It

6
marks a new beginning for women’s rights in Kenya; seeking to

remedy the traditional exclusion of women and promote their full
involvement in every aspect of growth and development.
When Kenyan women get the freedom to reach their potential, all
Kenyan families and communities will grow stronger. Empowering
women to exercise their rights is guaranteed by the Constitution. It
is important to bring the perspectives of women and girls and their
full participation to the frontlines; and men and boys are important
partners in this effort.
Economic Growth and Natural Resources

Women provide 80 percent of Kenya’s farm labor and manage 40
percent of the country’s smallholder farms, yet they own only
roughly 1 percent of agricultural land and receive just 10 percent of
available credit. Feed the Future resources focus on innovations in
agricultural labor-saving technologies and practices to reduce
women’s labor burden, linking women to extension services, mar-
kets and private enterprises and introducing alternative livelihoods
in the pastoral areas. The result is economically empowered wom-
en, improved household nutritional status, and women farmers
applying new technologies or management practices, savings
accounts or insurance policies. Women are on the front line of
conserving Kenya’s resources and rejuvenating its degraded land-
scapes. Many women now have a greater say in the management
of natural resources through their participation in community-
resource governance structures, such as water-user associations,
community forest associations and community conservancies.
Women are also running successful nature-based businesses and
earning more through enterprises from natural products, eco-
tourism, tree nurseries and traditional handicrafts. Productive en-
gagement of women and girls in leadership positions and decision-
making remains instrumental to improving natural resource man-
agement and household livelihoods while curbing conflict.

7
Improving Maternal and Family Health
The introduction of free maternity services by the Government of

Kenya has removed financial barriers and opened access to care
for most expectant mothers. To complement this policy, Ministry of
Health in collaboration with development partners provide essential
maternal and child health commodities, training and supportive
supervision to health facilities and health workers, to better equip
them to provide quality obstetric care.
Women’s Political & Civic Participation
Devolution has created greater opportunities for women’s participa-

tion in governance and decision-making. A number of programmes
have been put in place to increase women’s participation in local
government and deepening their understanding of their responsibili-
ties as elected officials. This has strengthened the voice of women
in leadership positions; empowering men and women through civic
education and public discussions. More than a half of women’s
civil-society networks remain active as community-level civic educa-
tors advocating for gender-sensitive budgeting at the local and
county levels. These efforts have built stronger relationships be-
tween the community and local government officials while address-
ing specific policy needs of women and girls. Efforts are in place to
advance advocacy and strengthen local civil society organizations
to demand for accountability from the political and public leadership
on implementing the constitutional provisions on gender equality.
Gender Equality and Statistics
Women and men should be visible in statistics. For this to be

possible, statistics must be disaggregated by sex. This gives a
clear picture of the real situation as it is on the ground through the
available data and showing existing gaps.

Guide for readers

The information in this booklet has been primarily extracted from
the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics publications, other
government departments and agencies. The sources are
acknowledged beside each table or graph.
Most tables and graphs provide absolute numbers and/or
proportions (%) for certain attributes for both women and men; girls
and boys
Some charts and graphs reflect both the absolute numbers and sex
distribution for various groups. The total figures in the tables are not
always in agreement with the partial figures because of rounding
off.
Some tables are based on regions (former provinces)
For information on data quality, please refer to the sources quoted.

11
Population
The population figures are extracted from the Population and
Housing Censuses which have been carried out in Kenya every ten
years since 1969.
The Kenyan population has risen steadily in recent decades. The
proportion of men and women has been roughly the same
throughout the years, with women being marginally higher than
men in the population.

The selected age-groups are categorised as follows; under five

years where nutrition and immunization are very key. The next age-
group is for children eligible for Early Childhood Development
Education (ECDE) followed by primary school going age,
secondary and teenage (15-19). The women in reproductive age
group (15-49) are key for improvement in maternal health care and
economically active age group (15-64) denotes the work force of
the country. The number of the elderly persons also need to be
known in order to be supported to cope up with life.

Health
Information on health is important for the government and other

service providers to plan for the various health needs of the
population. It is also necessary in monitoring progress in achieving
the set targets such as, immunization for children and assistance
during delivery and place of delivery for expectant mothers among
others.

Child Nutritional Status

Child nutritional status is an important indicator as this gives a clear
indication of socio-economic status of the country.
Height-for-age (Stunted) index provides an indicator of linear

growth retardation and cumulative growth deficits.
Weight-for-height (Wasted) index measures body mass in relation
to body height or length and describes current nutritional status.
Weight-for-age (Under-weight) is a composite index of height-for-
age and weight-for-height. It takes into account both chronic and
acute malnutrition. Children whose weight-for-age is below minus
two standard deviations (-2 SD) are classified as underweight.
Children whose weight-for-age is below minus three standard
deviations (-3 SD) are considered severely underweight

Non-Communicable Diseases
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which are also known as
chronic diseases, are those conditions that are usually not passed
on from one affected person to others. They are of long duration
and generally slow progression. Risk factors which are the main
drivers of these diseases are tobacco use, unhealthy diets,
insufficient exercise and alcohol misuse. The main types of
noncommunicable diseases are cardiovascular diseases (like heart
attacks and stroke), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as
chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and asthma) and diabetes.
In Kenya, breast and cervical cancer are the leading cause of

cancer deaths in women, and prostate cancer is the top cause of
cancer deaths in men. Living a healthy lifestyle free from communi-
cable and non-communicable diseases and free from use of de-
structive substances is very important for well-being of the country’s
population.

Work and Employment

The section presents information on employment in different
sectors. Disparity in employment between women and men still
exists despite some improvement being seen in recent years.
There seems to be a significant proportion of more men than
women employed in majority of the sectors, such as the agricultural
and the manufacturing sectors as shown below. The wage
employment becomes more even for education and social
activities. This indicates that women work less in formal wage
employment than men.
